I have Hotmail, Gmail and Yahoo...
Cayble 21st May 2010
And while there is nothing wrong in particular with any of them, I have had my hotmail account the longest and in general everything else has a far more clunky feel to it. Even Gmail feels like some of the differences are different for no other purpose then doing it different. And just not quite as intuitive or slick.

Agreed maybe someone who had Gmail for their first account might find Hotmail clunky to them, quite possible I guess.

Yahoo mail same thing. Nothing terribly wrong in any way but it just feels like certain things it does slightly different then Hotmail is a slightly clunkier way of doing it and for no particularly explainable reason why they decided to make it operate that way other then its different and they wanted to appear different.

Like I said, I use all three and have no objections to any that would make me tell anyone to stay away from any of the three. I just feel like hotmail got it right the first time.
